There are many different kinds of stainless steel and only certain ones are non-reactive in saltwater. You should do more research first.

The other question is why is the reactor sponge gumming up in the first place. I have two running in series with GFO and carbon and have never had any clogging issues.

Simple answer....I have a very successful hair algae farm and whenever I am "harvesting" some inevitable ends up in the sump and in the reactor filter.
